But it's not as hot as a Tepin, with just one of those little buggers you
would have melted the porcelein into a little ball of glass <G>

....The hottest chile I ever ate came from a little place in the Ozark
mountains. They only grow wild near hot springs, and the locals call them
"Beelzebubba's". They are a mossy green and they smell like a habanero
crossed with a tobacco plant. I got ahold of one last year and wish I
hadn't. They warn you to just go ahead and eat them while you are on the
toilet, and for good reason. By the time the paramedics showed up (neighbors
called them when they heard my screams), my hemorrhoids were blown out and
lodged in the side of the toilet tank, and I had porcelein chips underneath
my fingernails from gripping the rim so hard.
